Here's a recording of the JAM Project press conference that was held at Otakon 2008, courtesy of Mike Dent and the R5 Central podcast at http://r5central.wordpress.com. Special thanks also to Tyler from Rangercast; between Mike, Tyler, and us that comprised nearly all of the questions asked during this interview. Warning: as we realized that the rest of the press in attendance was not going to ask anything, our questions become progressively more absurd until...well...

Kept you waiting, huh? For this episode we're all reviewing manga titles. Gerald's reviewing Dororo by Osamu Tezuka and Daryl's reviewing Ressentiment by Kengo Hanazawa. Clarissa's review of Part 4 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure will be posted soon. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This episode probably sets some sort of AWO record for going off-topic, so if you find yourself wondering "when are they going to actually talk about anime" then you are encouraged to consult the timecodes listed on our website. Gerald reviews Witchblade (which he repeatedly paid money to own), Daryl reviews Strait Jacket (probably the newest thing he's ever done), and Clarissa reviews Moyashimon.

Here's an interview we conducted at Otakon 2008 with the Philadelphia Animation Society's "Old Farts" of anime: Bill Thomas, Kevin McHenry, Sydney Whitfield, and Jim Kaposztas.

Clarissa's reviewing the BL manga Dog Style, Gerald reviews the terrible wannabe cyberpunk OAV Burn Up! which unfortunately got multiple sequels, and Daryl reviews the awesome non-wannabe cyberpunk OAV Cyber City Oedo 808 which unfortunately got no sequels at all.

Alternate title: "Noah, When I Want Your Opinion I'll Take My Cl*t Out of Your Mouth and Ask You For It."

Show 71 ran a little long, so here's just the news segment rounding up what transpired at Anime Expo 2008. It's not as well-edited as usual due to a broken monitor plus writing deadlines, so bear with it. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Caught up by greed and the war economy, this episode is all about the pursuit--and parting--of cash. Clarissa reviews the Black Jack TV series, Gerald opines on Tekkon Kinkreet, and Daryl gambles it all away on Kaiji. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The hentai hoedown that is Show 69 continues, with our special guest Zero-chan from Japanator.
